Data centric

Data is the lifeblood of any business or organisation. It is also the prime target of individuals, groups, and even nation state hackers because it has value. The list of organisations that have been successfully targeted and found to have lost huge amounts of sensitive data is growing daily. Do not be the next headline.

In order to fully protect an organisation’s data, Axial’s approach follows three phases. Discover, Classify and Secure.

Discover - understand where the data is. On premises, in the cloud, back-up servers etc. or even residing on Mail servers as attachments.

Classify – determine what the data is. Is it sensitive, confidential or public? What compliance or legislative requirements apply? What policies need to be implemented to handle it properly?

Secure – depending upon the classification, data may need to be encrypted and/or access to it restricted to certain roles. Data loss prevention solutions may need to be instituted or updated. Serious consideration should be given to methods of adopting the same level of security in the cloud as in the data centre.

Protect current investments

Reduce cost

Controlling who has access to data reduces risk and liability potentially reducing the cost of cyber Insurance

Good cyber-hygiene starts with data security and Axial’s approach goes a long way towards delivering that through leading technology and our extensive experience. Equally important is user education – an aspect that is often overlooked. Regular training and update sessions for users should be an integral part of your data security philosophy.
